How does your game fit the theme?
Every level revolves around a countdown timer. Time is constantly running out, forcing players to race through obstacles, solve puzzles quickly, and make fast decisions before the timer reaches zero. Managing the remaining time is the core mechanic that drives both the gameplay and the challenge.

Wow, really fun game. I love how simple it is. I think this is a great mvp for a good puzzle game like the. great sfx too. This reminded  me of the game called the Pedestrian. Great work!

I liked the floatiness of the jump to get over the spikes. Level 5's moving platform made me laugh because I died several times before realizing the solution.

I love that I could cling to the ceiling. It was a nice mechanic that was also just fun to do while jumping around the levels. Great work!

Generally thought the clinging to the ceiling was a really fun bug then saw that it was intentional. Nice job, touches like that change something that could be super simple into a really enjoable experience!

Really efficient, reminds me those old flash game platformer it's a real vibe. I gotta say some levels were stupidly hard but that might be a me issue. Good job overall !

great job, nice to see an html5 game on here! i particularly liked the stick to the ceiling mechanic as others have mentioned, definitely the highlight for me! like others have mentioned a visible timer for the moving platforms would be nice, i’d also make them move more linearly and slow enough that you can jump on top of them more consistently, and also might be better to update the deceleration to be a bit faster to make platforming even snappier

Nice, though quite buggy.

OK

Nice game, the platforming is fun, the level design is good and the mechanics are unique. The sound effects are a bit too loud and stuff like there being moving platforms aren't really comunicated by the game, but is still a really nice game that could be great if continued in the future.

Developer

OK

This was short, sweet, and simple! This has been one of my favorite platforming experiences so far, especially with the W to stick to the ceiling mechanic XD Great work!

Nice game! I like the "sticking to the ceiling" mechanic xD And you really nailed the level design! Great work <3

Developer

Thanks

probably one of the sleeper hits this jam, what it lacks in polish more than makes up for it in creativeness, great job

Developer

THANKS

Pretty cool game! I like the simplicity of it and I love the stick to the ceiling mechanic! The levels are quite straightforward but the jump from one level to another gets super intense. Perhaps a bit more connection between the levels would have been better. The overall game aesthetic, narrative, and sound does need a bit more polish but completely understandable in a game jam setting! Overall, I still had fun with this one! Great job!

I like how you can stick to the ceiling. It neatly fixes the head bonk issue that many games have.

Developer

YEAH

Submitted

Cool platformer game, I think it'd be nice to have some indication of when moving objects start going, cause it feels like trial and error currently. I also unfortunately had a bug with the menu where it wouldn't let me press anything after dying so I got softlocked there.

Developer(+1)

YEAH I SHOUD HAVE DONE THAT

hey you copied me >:(

Nice game, I finished it. I particularly liked the level where you have to time your jump so that you land on the moving platform (sorry, I don’t remember the level number), was a cool extra twist with the timer :D

Developer

thanks

Submitted

Not bad! I liked the levels. But I think it would have been better to make it immediately obvious that the platform was moving.

Developer

thanks
